Rep. Conyers won't help his wife pay for a lawyer | |
2010-03-18 | |
The National Law Journal reports that former Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers, wife of House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., has been declared indigent by a federal judge. That means she gets a public defender in her attempt to appeal her three-year prison sentence on a bribery charge to which she pleaded guilty. Heh. Good luck with that...
Hmmmmmmmm. Doesn't sound like he's gonna wait for ya, baby... The article notes that according to federal guidelines, a family member's wealth cannot be considered when determining a defendant's ability to pay, "unless the family indicates willingness and financial ability to retain counsel promptly." Yeah, baby. Why should I pay when the guvmint will?

#6 I wonder what Monica knows about her husband's dirty linen? Perhaps Rep. John Conyers is as clean as the newly driven snow on a country Baptist Church. Perhaps he should wonder who Monica will be talking to these next 3 years. |

#4 His wife is a real POS and an arrogant one at that. She deserves to be behind bars. I bet the old guy is just happy to be rid of her for a few years. I hope Maxine Waters is next. She is a crook and criminal from way back. Barbara Lee too. Why is it almost every negro in congress has ethics issues? |

#3 You mean when the taxpayer will. These free loaders and leaches will suck the blood out of this country any way they can. If I were Rep. Conyers, I'd also watch my back. Hell hath no fury as a woman's scorn. |
